Huab Lodge Khorixas Namibia

Khorixas was previously the capital of the Damaraland bantustan prior to Namibia's independence. Huab Lodge began as an idea to generate funds to save the desert-dwelling elephant from being harassed and shot. The original farmland was in a small area called Monte Carlo, which boasts stunning views, bisected by the mostly dry Huab River.

Huab Lodge began as an idea to generate funds to save the desert-dwelling elephant from being harassed and shot. The original farmland was in a small area called Monte Carlo, which boasts stunning views, bisected by the mostly dry Huab River.

The lodge was erected on a special site just down river from the old rest camp, where the Germans built the so-called German Bath in the late 1800's.
Despite its size, the unique main building blends well into its surroundings.
The irregular thatch roof mirrors a mountain on the opposite bank.
The stone and thatch bungalows spread along the elevated north bank of the river, ensuring a private and magnificent view - even from the shower!

The main building at Huab Lodge has an enormous thatch roof with open sides, giving their guests the impression of being on the outside, but well in the shade.
There is a cozy seating arrangement, with a well-assorted reference library, not to mention a photographic collection of Haub Lodge's guests. A permanent coffee and tea bar is laid out here.

The long dining table and some other tables and chairs are made of heavy Rhodesian Teak sleepers.
The easy chairs have colourful handmade cushions.
Natural rock islands protrude into this area and have been decorated with somewhat rather curious details.
A small curio shop and the bar fill up the remaining space.

Huab lodge Accommodation
Accommodation is in 8 spacious, stone and thatch bungalows, sleeping a maximum of 16 guests.
They all have a large private patio, and include a separate en-suite toilet, two hand-wash basins with mirrors.
Even the shower has a view.
Each room has two king size beds, and large windows enable an abundance of natural light to stream inside.
The view across to the Huab River from here is wonderful.
Tea and coffee making facilities are set out. Mosquito nets, a ceiling fan, and a torch are also on hand, as well as biologically degradable soaps and shampoo.

Huab Lodge has an aromatherapist who offers reflexology and aromatherapy massages in the privacy of the bungalow or at the thermal spring. These treatments have proved extremely popular with their guests since its inclusion.
Use of the swimming pool with its decorative island is recommended, and you can also enjoy a wallow in the thermal spring, which contains soothing and healing minerals.
